Hi,
It looks like below comparison(principal instanceof GenericPrincipal) is failing as I am returning the CustomizedPrincipal which implements the java.security.Principal. Is it something introduced in tomcat7.x/tomcat8.x? RealBase.hasRole() { // Should be overridden in JAASRealm - to avoid pretty inefficient conversions if ((principal == null) || (role == null) || !(principal instanceof GenericPrincipal)) return (false); } Thanks in advance -----Original Message----- From: Venkata Reddy P [mailto:venkata.re...@trianz.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2016 5:23 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: BASIC authentication problem in tomcat8.0.33 This was typo in while writing mail. When I debug my customized code until it is returning the principal everything seems to be good from customization point of view. Removing the default files'tomcat-users.txt' and 'tomcat-users.xsd' from <catalina_home>\config, will it make any difference?
